“...... These are the recent actions of the Mercenary Guild's Koran Branch and the Eternal Hammer Koran Branch!Dear Lord Baron Rodney!"

In a luxurious manor-style seaside villa, a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional gentleman's dress, holding his small round hat in his hand, bowing his waist slightly, nervously reported respectfully to an obese old man.

The fat old man is the big boss behind the Apothecary's Guild, the highest-ranking nobleman of the Golden Power Guild in the Corland City area, Baron Aldington Rodney, and standing in front of him is the new administrator of the Apothecary Guild, a leader of the Apothecary Guild who is not a pharmacist.

Due to the relationship of the University of Crime, the city of Coran has a very special status in the county of Gilargo, and the political environment of complete autonomy makes it impossible for lords and lords to be such rulers.

Even the civil council is nothing more than a civil institution established by the residents of Koran City, which was established by the University of Crime, in order to maintain order in the city, which is fundamentally different from the city-state councils of other cities.

Of course, due to the ignorance of the affairs of the world, the civil council originally established by the residents was gradually invaded and encroached upon by the powerful institutions, and became a management body serving the powerful, leaving only a symbolic lower house (the people's parliament), but the vast majority of the civil councillors were secretly bought and controlled by the upper institutions.

It is precisely because of this environment that the power of the Golden Power Society is relatively small in this city, and the nobleman with the highest title is only the Baron Rodney.

Even so, the Rodneys are among the richest in the county, owning not only a large number of properties in the city of Corland, but also a large number of farms, pastures, and vineyards outside of the city.

Reputedly. The Rodney family even owns one-third of the ship dock in Port Coran, which can be regarded as a powerful family, but the Rodney family is not the biggest landlord in Coland City, the biggest landlord is Kemo University!

The entire area of the original Cape Forest from Cape Cape in the east to Cape Bay in the west belongs to Kemo University!

Hundreds of years ago, it was the first generation of magicians from the University of Magic who came here and used their magical powers to transform the soft mud of the Cape Forest. The mangrove forests, which are home to a large number of mosquitoes and flies, are hot and humid, allowing humans to replace crabs as the owners of the area.

If it weren't for the magical power of the magicians, it would not have been possible to drive away the mudflats and fishmen who lived in the mud without leaving them covered in mud. Disgusting creatures that smelled fishy and looked like purulent snot drove out of the area. Cape forests could not have become a gathering area for humans.

As a reclaimer in Corrambang. It is not a mistake to say that the entire land of Corrambang belongs to the University of Como.

However, the magicians of the time did not mind the common people living on their land, and even took the initiative to give some shelter to the native fishermen who lived near the University of Kormo, and it was because of this that Colan Bang attracted a large number of free people and native fishermen to join. Gradually, the city of Coran was formed.

As time passed, the land that was originally occupied by the commoners gradually became their private land, but no one dared to offend the local master of the university. Because, in principle, the ownership of the land they call their own still belongs to the University of Magic.

If the administrators of Kemo University wanted to expand the campus on a whim that day, the residents of the entire city of Coran would probably be homeless.

The only thing that can be expected is to hope that the administrators of Kemo University will be kind-hearted and make some compensation for them, otherwise they will only have to bear the fate of leaving their hometowns, as for protesting to Kemo University?

What are you kidding? The land is originally someone else's, can you still persuade people to give you your land by reasoning? It's not bad if you don't charge you for the land occupation fee for the past few hundred years!

As for the unreasonable occupation by force? uh... I've only heard of people trembling and hoping that magicians can maintain their demeanor and be reasonable, but I haven't heard of anyone who dares to be unreasonable to a group of magicians.

Baron Rodney was not really a nobleman in the traditional sense, and the Rodney family was originally the first generation of native fishermen attached to the University of Magic, and in order to escape the attack of the mudflat fishmen, they abandoned the seaside fishing village where they originally lived, and moved to seek refuge near the gathering place of magicians who were not yet universities at the time.

By chance, the Rodney family abandoned their ancestral status as fishermen and began to serve the magicians who were looking for hired workers to build the buildings of the University of Science and Technology, and gradually made a fortune, which was passed down for hundreds of years to form the current Rodney family.

I don't know when the Rodney family, which gradually gained some momentum in Coranbang, was quietly tried to break into the Jinquan Society, an emerging area of Corland, and secretly developed into a member, becoming the first batch of Jinquan nobles buried by the Jinquan Society in the land of Coranbang.

Originally, the Rodneys were just the "third-class lords" of the sixteenth-class second-class golden titles, and there were many other powerful local families who were developed into golden nobles by the Golden Power Society, ranging from "quasi-eighth knights (quasi-knights)" to "first-class lords".

However, the Rodney family, with its ruthless style and use various means to eliminate dissidents, not only eliminated or annexed a large number of Coran Bang's golden nobles, but also gradually established its position as a big man in Colan Bang in this bloody development, and became one of the most powerful families in the region except for the official institutions such as the University of Komo and the Civil Council.

Following the father of Baron Aldington Rodney, he eliminated the last family of the Golden Lords of the First Class in Corrambong, annexed the power of the other party, and became the "quasi-baron" among the nobles of the Golden Power.

Baron Rodney inherited his father's business, inherited his father's ruthless style, and one night a few decades ago, at a family banquet, after killing his father and all his brothers who had the right to inherit in one fell swoop, he successfully ascended to the throne and began to write the history of his bloody conquest of the "Baron of the Bloody Hand", and finally succeeded in promoting to the "Baron of Golden Power" twenty years ago.

However, Baron Bloodhand's journey ends there, the special city of Coran City has a very special status in Gilargo County, and with the suppression of the behemoth of Kemo University, no one can make waves in this land.

Twenty years!

Baron Rodney tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't get the deposit, and unless he could control the University of Science and Magic in his hands, he couldn't go any further in the sequence of the golden nobles.

And in the sequence of the nobles of Jinquan, a baron of Jinquan is really nothing, and he can't extend the tentacles of the Rodney family to other city-states.

Not to mention the Duke of Jin Quan and the Marquis of Jin Quan in the "capital-level" city-states such as Tolan City and Zolan City, even the Earl of Jin Quan and the Viscount of Jin Quan in large city-states such as Osquilo City and Suribal City he can't afford to provoke.

City-states of the same size as Corran, such as Talandor City and Talliston City, are confident that he will "compete" with the other Baron Jinquan, who controls the city.

However, the geographical location of Coran City, which is located in the easternmost part of Gilargo County, is the only city under the Cape of Jewels, and although it occupies the advantage of the transportation artery connecting Dagon County, it is also isolated from the power network of the Golden Power Society.

It is good to die, Baron Rodney feels that he can have the strength to compete, the nearest medium-sized city-state to Coran City, "Talandor City", but he is sheltered behind the large city-state of Surebal, and even if his hand is extended, it cannot reach the other party.

Thankfully, although the University of Magic stopped Baron Rodney's "ambitions", it also protected Coran City from the covetousness of those Counts and Viscounts of Golden Power in Suribal City in the Cape Bay region, so that he could develop with peace of mind.

After 20 years of hard work, Baron Rodney finally recognized the cruel truth, and could only put his hope on the integration of local forces and the formation of an alliance of interests, and began to lay out a huge "invasion plan", he wanted to hold all the local forces hostage, live in Kemo University, and become the master of Kemo University!

The conditions for the promotion of the title of golden nobility are not how much wealth they have, but the scope of their power, Baron Rodney, who is limited to the immobility of Colan Bang by various factors, if he wants to improve his golden title, he must break through the local suppression of Kemo University and the power of Suribal City.

And in order to do this, whether or not you can make a decision in Kolan Bang is the key.

Since several years ago, Baron Rodney began to control various industries in the local area, and even united the originally scattered pharmacists to form the so-called "Colan City Apothecary Guild", remotely controlling them behind their backs, using the potion quota to coerce the adventure guild and the mercenary guild to join their own camp in the branch of Coran City.

Everything was going well until that damn "Remley's Apothecary" came along, and if he was given a few more years, he would be able to control all the votes in the Civil Council into his own hands, and he would be able to weave all the industries in Kolan City into a huge aggregate of interests, and he would be able to ......

However, it was the appearance of this Lemli Potion Workshop that suddenly disrupted his steps, causing the many adventure groups, mercenary groups and other armed forces that had begun to move closer to the Rodney family suddenly fell to their respective guilds, and even faintly formed a force to compete with the great Rodney family, how could he not be angry and thunderous?
